None of the above. Scott Adams as in Adventureland and Voodoo Castle.
Old adventure games that were widely available on most home computer
systems in the early to mid 80's. Like my ancient Commodore Vic-20
which I used to play them on. :)
As it happens, I found them! For anyone who is interested, you can get
an interpreter, AND all the adventures (!) at
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/scott-adams/
There is also a zip of all of the games ported to zcode, so if you've
got a Palm with the PalmOS port of Frotz, now you can play all the
infocom games AND the Scott Adams adventures (as well as a whole ton of
other stuff that people have written for zcode) on either your PalmPilot
or on Unix.
I'm in geek nostalgia heaven... :)
Note: the Scott Adams adventures are now distributed as shareware, so
you aren't committing a crime if you download them.
